Credit Card

Paying with a credit card is a simple process. Enter your card information including expiration date and card security code (CSC), typically found on the back of your credit card. 

Check (Cash)

Choosing to pay with check or cash will add additional order processing time and will affect when you can receive your order, but is still a popular payment option for many farmers.

Input loans are fixed-rate, non-revolving loans of $10,000 to $500,000, which are only applicable to FBN input purchases. When you apply for an input loan with FBN Finance, you’ll go through a straightforward application process that can be approved in one business day.*
